hundreds of people lost their jobs and a friend's life work might potentially be left unfinshed. We don't need to hear about why you think the show hasn't been good since volume 3
Especially considering like. No amount of success or influence or “if they’d done this” or that with regards to RWBY itself would’ve saved RT. It’s a rotting problem at the root of WBD itself.
real talk: the fuckos giggling about this are absolutely in the same pool pissing and shitting themselves over batgirl's cancellation, or the way coyote v acme got shitcanned
it's still only "good" when it's something you hate, huh, dipshits
I still think of that stupid Tumblr post that went "if you ship anything in RWBY just admit that you like smashing the pretty Barbies together, there's no way you care about story or character dynamics and relationships because it's all just shallow flash, and the sooner you admit it the better."
relatedly it got pulled down from Crunchyroll so the only thing that's streaming are Ice Queendom on CR, and I think the Justice League crossover movies on Max.
I went ahead and watched 8 volumes of RWBY almost in a row mostly to see what everyone was complaining about and like, I have my own critiques, but the stuff that gets piled on by the internet at large is just nonsense
See I feel like all of those at least had the reasoning of "the fans and discourse are omnipresent so I will do things to spite the fans because I have no life outside the internet"
Also the knee-jerk hatred that "wannabe anime" projects got in the 2000s carried over. It's hard to remember when A:TLA is considered a foundational classic and Totally Spies a punchline because of stealth niche fetishes and not because of the art, not to mention how today we have far more international co-productions, but back then --
